🚀  Method 2:

PART 1: Enable Developer Mode on Roku

1- Power on your Roku device and ensure it’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.

2- Enable Developer Mode by pressing the following buttons on your Roku remote in sequence:

Home button (3x) + Up (2x) + Right + Left + Right + Left + Right

3- A Developer Settings screen will appear.

4- Write down the Roku IP address displayed on the screen. You’ll need it later.

5- Select “Enable installer and restart”.

6- Accept the license agreement.

7- Create a password when prompted. This password will be used later to access the Developer Installer page.

Your Roku will restart to activate Developer Mode.

💻 PART 2: Add IPTV Smarters via Roku Private Channel (Code Method)

This is an alternate method that doesn’t require sideloading or Developer Mode. Roku used to allow access to private/hidden channels via secret codes.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

1- On your computer or phone, go to:
https://my.roku.com

2- Sign in to your Roku account using your email and password.

 

3- Under Manage Account, click on “Add channel with a code”.

4- In the box, type:

iptvsmarters

⚠️ Ensure it’s typed exactly with no spaces or capital letters.

5- Click “Add Channel”.

6- A warning may appear stating the channel is not certified. Click OK.

7- On the confirmation page, select “Yes, add channel”.

8- Restart your Roku device. The IPTV Smarters app will now appear on your home screen.

🚧 NOTE: Roku has limited private channels recently. If this code no longer works, use Developer Mode or screen mirroring instead.

📦 PART 3: Download the IPTV Smarters Package

To sideload IPTV manually via Developer Mode, you need the .ZIP file.

1. On your computer, download the IPTV Smarters .ZIP package.

   Do NOT unzip this file. Keep it in ZIP format.

2. You can request the file from your IPTV provider, or search for:

   “IPTV Smarters Roku sideload zip”

3. Save the file somewhere accessible, e.g., Desktop.

🛋️ PART 4: Upload IPTV Smarters to Roku

1- On your computer, open a web browser and go to:

http://[ROKU IP ADDRESS]

Replace [ROKU IP ADDRESS] with the one from your Roku Developer screen.

2- A login prompt will appear:

• • Username: rokudev

  • Password: (enter the one you created earlier)

3- You’ll now be on the Roku Development Application Installer page.

4- Click “Upload”, and select the iptvsmarters.zip file.

5- Click “Open”.

6- Click “Install”

7- If you reached this screen, you’ve done it correctly!

8- After a few seconds, the IPTV Smarters app will appear on your Roku Home Screen.

🔑 PART 5: Log in to IPTV Smarters on Roku

1. Launch the IPTV Smarters app on your Roku.

2. You will see several login options:

   • Load Your Playlist or File/URL

   • Login with Xtream Codes API

3. Use the credentials provided by your IPTV service provider.

Example for Xtream Codes API:
